The internet has completely changed consumer buying habits with many choosing to shop from the comfort of their home/office instead of physically visiting shops.

Away from the Clerkenwell circuit there was exciting news for Tangram at several London showrooms.

London continues to be a hotbed for design and Clerkenwell in particular stands out as one of the city’s best design destinations.

One half of the Tangram team flew out once again to Milano for Salone del Mobile!  It was the 55th year of the world-renowned furniture exhibition which seemed to be as vibrant and inspiring as ever.  Sarah & Jenny take over Tangram Talk to share some personal highlights and the top trends of 2016...

The times they are a-changin' here in the showroom!  We've just had some temporary walls built to set the scene for 2 new mono-brand settings from B&B Italia and Maxalto which will be on display from 1st June.

We're thrilled to reveal that the downstairs of our showroom has been transformed into a Walter Knoll exclusive.  Carpeted, painted and filled with beautiful furniture, it's safe to say the downstairs showroom is looking sharper than ever...

Of the roughly 700 exhibitors at the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, 80% are Scandinavian making the event the largest meeting place for Scandinavian design.   From whiteboards to modular seating systems, the Scandi's have launched some very exciting new designs.  We've selected our highlights and categorised them into offices, hospitality and apartments.

Offices

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are well-known for their collaborations with some of the biggest brands in the contemporary furniture and lighting industry.  Their portfolio includes designs for Ligne Roset, Vitra, Flos & Kvadrat and extends over a period of more than 15 years. As designers who specialise in crafting products that enhance the home environment, the collaboration with Samsung on a new TV for the home seems like a natural expansion.

Our portfolio seems to be continually expanding! But - we're not complaining.  While we try to keep our portfolio selective, it's impossible to ignore the quality and relevance of certain brands.  So, we welcome 3 new brands to Tangram, all with very different offerings.

The design world is forever evolving and keeping us guessing.  LDF '15 demonstrated this with the huge variety of exhibitions, open studios, pop-ups, trade shows and installations. In comparison, trends in the contemporary furniture and lighting industry tend to have a slightly longer life cycle; such as the use of metallics and marble.  We discuss some of the most apparent trends at this year's LDF...

Julian and Sarah headed south at the end of September for the annual London Design Festival.  Sarah takes over Tangram Talk to discuss this years highlights...

Amazing sights, products, installations, and lots and lots of people crammed into small spaces can only mean one thing – London Design Festival!  With over 300 events taking place across the city of London, it is impossible to do more than scratch the surface. Design Districts are a plenty; key for us were Design Junction, Clerkenwell and Brompton and within these three areas alone, we saw a vast array of beautiful furniture, lighting, accessories and some great installations too.

Vitra may be new to the Tangram offering, but the brand has been a spearhead within the design industry for more than 60 years.  Boasting collaborations with some of the most celebrated designers past & present, including Charles & Ray Eames and Antonio Citterio, Vitra have a portfolio that includes timeless classics and fresh new designs.
